Guice said the idea for the law and the organization came after he watched a news broadcast about child molesters and how they were molesting more children after their release.

The offense scored five times in the two-hour scrimmage held on a windy, chilly afternoon. Still, the defense followed through on that hell-bent-for-the-helmet demeanor that new head coach Derek Dooley, coordinator Tommy Spangler and other defensive staff members are looking for with their squad.
“I was really pleased with our defense and the progress it had made from the last scrimmage,” said Dooley. “There was a better effort and more toughness. We haven’t seen that (kind of toughness) in a while and that’s what we are looking for.”

Members of more than 55 Tech organizations fared Saturday’s dreary weather to help rake leaves, trim hedges and spruce up various sites in the community as part of the Student Government Association’s annual Big Event. This effort grew from 200 students lending a hand in 1998 to 1,400 of today’s students signing up to keep clutter down.
Caleb Smith, SGA president, said he felt the event went well.

So, why is the word “no” so hard for many women to say?
My sister got married this past March. Since her maid of honor was merely the ripe old age of eight years old, the responsibility of that title was laid on the shoulders of my younger sister and me.

Clark, decked out in a purple survivor T-shirt, said she has been treatment free for nine years.
“It’s amazing because a lot of people last year wanted to make a change and participate in making this happen, and they are,” she said. “We are overcome. It’s so wonderful to see sororities and fraternities from Louisiana Tech and people here who say, ‘We want to make a difference.’”

The Louisiana Military Museum — a significant tourism draw to north central Louisiana — is looking to move into a new home that would allow curator Ernie Stevens to display all of the military memorabilia he has amassed.
